(OTCQB:GMBL) (or the “Company”), a licensed online gambling company with a specific focus on esports wagering and 18+ gaming, is pleased to announce the signing of an Affiliate Marketing Agreement with SpeedGaming, the largest competitive speedrunning network and the second largest speedrunning group on Twitch.tv. As the first platform to offer wagering for speedrunning, this agreement is another milestone for vie.gg, the world’s first and most transparent esports betting exchange.

SPEEDGAMING GLOBAL TRAFFIC NUMBERS

SpeedGaming was created by legendary speedrunner “Feasel” in 2015 as a way to give back to the speedrunning community. SpeedGaming hosts speedrunning races, which typically involves two to four players playing a video game with the intention of completing it as fast as possible.

SpeedGaming generates significant global traffic from its 6 channels on Twitch.tv in multiple languages. Over the most recent one week period, its main channel generated.

14.5 million views and 450,000 hours of total watch time. Over the most recent 30 day period, SpeedGaming generated approximately 30 million views and 850,000 hours of total watch time.

The global speedrunning community is growing at a very fast pace, with single events raising over $2,000,000 for charity in 2018, and is expected to continue growing at a very rapid pace for years to come. VIE is now positioned to become the P2P betting platform for speedrunning and expects to announce further agreements in this space.

SpeedGaming Founder Feasel stated “SpeedGaming is proud to be partnering with Vie.gg. We have built the largest competitive speedrunning network, broadcasting over 50 tournaments per year on 9 channels. We are happy to be giving our users the ability to bet on their favourite players. We expect that this, along with substantial cash prizes for upcoming tournaments, will serve to broaden the exposure of both SpeedGaming and Vie, as well as, continue to attract the top players in the world to join these events.”

Brian Cordry, Head of Esports at Esports Entertainment Group, stated, “SpeedGaming has been home to every important speedrun game for the past 3 years across its collective English Twitch channels, as well as, a handful of broadcasts in other languages. SpeedGaming is truly a speedrun authority and we look forward to supporting their community by sponsoring two tournaments and taking bets on several more they will be hosting to close out 2018. We are especially excited to build a long-term future with SpeedGaming and help push speedrunning to the heights that esports is currently achieving.”

Although batteries still account for a relatively small portion of nickel demand, the electrification of cars is growing that source of demand significantly, this according to Mark Jarvis, president and CEO of Giga Metals.
“The steady march of electric vehicles is a fundamental shift in the supply-demand equation, especially for class 1 nickel,” Jarvis told Kitco News on the sidelines of the Swiss Mining Institute Conference in Geneva.

  • The World Trade Organization (WTO) released a report on blockchain technology’s effect on international trade today, Nov. 27.
  • Per the study, blockchain’s economic value-add on a global scale could reach almost $3 trillion by 2030.

The World Trade Organization (WTO) released a report on blockchain technology’s effect on international trade today, Nov. 27. Per the study, blockchain’s economic value-add on a global scale could reach almost $3 trillion by 2030.

“Blockchain and International Trade: Opportunities, Challenges, and Implications for International Trade Cooperation” analyzes blockchain applications and challenges that must be considered before the technology’s deployment in various sectors. The study considers the technology’s effect on industries such as trade finance, customs clearance, logistics and transportation.

Blockchain Business Value Forecast. Source: WTO

The study estimates that blockchain has the potential to significantly cut trade costs by increasing transparency and facilitating processes automation, including financial intermediation, exchange rate costs, coordination, and other aspects. “The removal of barriers due to blockchain could result in more than $ 1 trillion of new trade in the next decade,” the report reads.

Blockchain is expected to help administer intellectual property rights across multiple jurisdictions by delivering more transparency and efficiency, and enhance government procurement processes, including fighting fraud and managing public contracts.

Blockchain purportedly could improve supply chains, allowing for the tracking of shipments and proving their authenticity. Additionally, the technology could open new opportunities to micro, small and medium-sized companies.

Conversely, the study warns about challenges that must be addressed before deploying blockchain, as well as its impact on international trade. The researchers point out limited scalability of blockchains due to the predetermined size of blocks, in addition to energy consumption and security issues.

Although “blockchains are highly resilient compared to traditional databases due to their decentralized and distributed nature and the use of cryptographic techniques, they are not completely immune from traditional security challenges,” the study states.

The report stresses the importance of developing a multi-stakeholder approach in order to find appropriate use cases in cross-border trade. According to the WTO, blockchain requires frameworks that ensure the interoperability of networks and provide clear legal status for blockchain transactions across jurisdictions. The report concludes:

“Blockchain could make international trade smarter, but smart trade requires smart standardization — and smart standardization can only happen through cooperation. If we succeed in creating an ecosystem conducive to the wider development of blockchain, international trade could well look radically different in ten to 15 years.”

Earlier this week, Ethereum cofounder Vitalik Buterin said that the misapplication of blockchain technology in some industries leads to “wasted time.” Buterin argued that although there are a number of companies that try to establish higher standards by using blockchain technology, he does not think the technology is applicable in every industry.

Reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure that we calculate as income (loss) before income taxes excluding depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, non- recurring non-operating expenses, interest expense, and gain or loss on financial instruments and foreign exchange.

Adjusted EBITDA is a measure used by management and the Board to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends. This measure differs from contribution in that adjusted EBITDA includes additional operating costs, such as general and administration expenses and marketing, but excludes funding interest costs.

The following table presents a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to loss before income taxes, the most comparable IFRS financial measure for each of the periods indicated:

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

The GLN Story
GLN is a patent pending machine learning programmatic video advertising technology company that does not collect PII (Personal Identifiable Information).

GLN is headquartered in Vancouver, Canada with offices in the US and UK and trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the stock symbol “GOOD” and The Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the stock symbol 4G5.

Addressable Market: The total media ad spend worldwide will rise 7.4% to $628.63 billion in 2018, according to “Global Ad Spending: The eMarketer Forecast for 2018.” Digital media will account for 43.5% of that investment, thanks to rising global ecommerce spending and shifting viewership from traditional TV to digital channels. By 2020, digital’s share of total advertising will near 50%.

Harvest Update at Marijuana Company of America’s $MCOA CBD Hemp Project in Scio Oregon $AERO $CBDS $CGRW $APH.ca $GBLX $ACG $ACB $WEED.ca $HIP.ca

  • Provide an update on the harvest at their high yielding CBD hemp project in Scio, Oregon.
  • 2018 Scio cultivation consisted of 33 acres of high yielding CBD hemp (utilizing six different cultivars with an expected CBD content ranging from 6% to 12%), grown in an orchard style cultivation on the property.

Escondido, California–(November 27, 2018) – MARIJUANA COMPANY OF AMERICA INC. (OTC Pink: MCOA) (“MCOA” or the “Company“), an innovative hemp and cannabis corporation, and its joint venture partner Global Hemp Group (CSE: GHG) (OTC Pink: GBHPF)  (FSE: GHG) are pleased to provide an update on the harvest at their high yielding CBD hemp project in Scio, Oregon.

The 2018 Scio cultivation consisted of 33 acres of high yielding CBD hemp (utilizing six different cultivars with an expected CBD content ranging from 6% to 12%), grown in an orchard style cultivation on the property. With the help of near perfect weather in the region that extended the harvest period by several weeks, the hemp crop had the opportunity to grow to full maturity, allowing the team to completely harvest all of the plants before the fall rains began in the valley. For pictures from this season’s cultivation, please visit the Scio project page on MCOA’s corporate website here: http://marijuanacompanyofamerica.com/scio-oregon/

Innovation was the key to overcoming various challenges throughout the year, but the team in Scio was able to find solutions when required. Our team consists of a number of talented crew members trained in a variety of skill sets, including metal fabrication, fine carpentry, and large equipment operation. With the help of a number of knowledgeable advisors, the team set up, built, and operated the project themselves.

The Harvest

This year’s harvest consisted of approximately 37,000 high yielding CBD hemp plants producing 24 tons of biomass. Harvesting this year was done by hand, making it extremely labor intensive and time consuming. However, the team developed a number of solutions that will automate both the harvesting and planting for next year’s crop. Ultimately, the goal is to completely automate these processes, making it more efficient and less costly to complete. The team has now begun working on prototypes to automate the harvesting processes and expect to have machinery ready for use next season.

A number of different drying techniques were employed with this year’s harvest. In the end, “old school” hanging techniques proved to be the most effective and efficient. Drying took place in the farm’s larger 20-foot-high, 4,000 sq. ft. greenhouse which allowed for an increased quantity of plants being dried at any one time. Drying took approximately 36 to 48 hours to achieve the levels required for storage and ultimately extraction. With each successive batch of drying, techniques were improved to increase the volume of biomass being dried in the greenhouse, while decreasing the time that it took to hang and dry it.

Results

The drying process for all of the hemp harvested is now complete, and is stored awaiting further processing. The farm produced 48,000 pounds of dried biomass, which is stockpiled in quarter ton super sacks, stacked three bags high and requiring approximately 4,000 sq. ft. of storage space. Despite the late start in planting this season, the hemp plants still achieved sufficient size to produce the anticipated quantity of biomass. It is expected that in 2019, planting will begin June 1st giving the hemp an addition 30-45 days of growing time. This will produce much larger plants, resulting in significantly larger quantities of biomass.

Further Processing

The Partners acquired a hammermill to complete the next level of processing, prior to the biomass going for extraction of the cannabinoids. Processing will begin shortly, once electrical work is complete to run the hammermill. This next level of processing will not only prepare the biomass for extraction of cannabinoids, but will also reduce the storage space requirements by more than 50% as the bulk of the plants is reduced in size.

Extraction

The Partners are currently exploring opportunities to joint venture with others that have expertise in the cannabinoid extraction business, so that an extraction facility can be set up onsite to process this year’s harvest. Biomass is currently selling for between US$3.00 and US$4.00 per pound. By taking the biomass to the next level of processing, further value will be created.

  • Announced the signing of a non-binding term sheet to create a joint-venture to formulate, develop and deliver cannabinoid derived therapeutics for a number of indications
  • Altus has three distinct drug delivery technologies that will provide Tetra with significant strategic advantages over the competition.

Seeks joint venture with Altus Formulation Inc. – a drug formulation and development company with patented technologies

ORLEANS, Ontario, Nov. 27, 2018 — Tetra Bio-Pharma Inc. (“Tetra” or “TBP”), (TSX VENTURE: TBP) (OTCQB: TBPMF), and Altus Formulation Inc. (“Altus”) today announced the signing of a non-binding term sheet (“Term Sheet“) to create a joint-venture to formulate, develop and deliver cannabinoid derived therapeutics for a number of indications. Altus has three distinct drug delivery technologies that will provide Tetra with significant strategic advantages over the competition. These include IntellitabTM abuse deterrent technology, FlexitabTM breakable sustained release tablet technology and SmartCelleTM nano-technology. SmartCelle’s ability to enhance the solubility of our THC and CBD products permits increased oral absorption and enables parenteral delivery. All platforms are protected by patents in force globally.

The Proposed Joint-Venture will provide Tetra Bio-Pharma with:

  • Increased intellectual property protection for products developed under the joint venture;
  • Access to abuse deterrent technology to minimize non-medical use of cannabinoids;
  • An enhanced development pipeline addressing new therapeutic areas;
  • Opportunities for disease-appropriate delivery including intranasal and intravenous delivery; and
  • Increased oral drug absorption with immediate and extended release products.

Dr. Guy Chamberland, CEO and CSO of Tetra Bio-Pharma stated, “We are extremely excited about the creation of this joint venture as Altus brings many advantages to the table that will benefit our patients, their care providers and add tremendous value to the products being developed together. Their drug delivery technology will significantly strengthen our intellectual property portfolio.”

The White House Executive Office of the President of the United States along with several U.S. Federal agencies are encouraging pharmaceutical manufacturers to develop abuse-deterrent technologies. The Altus intellectual property will allow Tetra to bring formulations containing THC to market with a product label that clearly indicates its abuse-deterrence feature.

“This will be a major breakthrough for marketing THC drugs with opioid reduction claims at a time when society and the medical community are battling the epidemic abuse of opioids,” said Dr. Chamberland.

“We were highly impressed by Tetra’s science-driven approach to cannabinoid research and their proven ability to develop valuable medicines in this largely untapped new space,” said Dr. Damon Smith, CEO of Altus Formulation. “We greatly look forward to working with them and to bringing a range of life-changing new products to our patients.”

About Altus Formulation Inc.
Altus Formulation is a Quebec based drug formulation and development company using its proprietary and patent protected drug delivery technologies to generate novel, differentiated and cost effective new products for its partners and their patents. With a focus on safer to use formulations, Altus’ technologies also include SmartCelle technologies for intravenous or oral delivery of low solubility large and small molecules.
